Template usage instructions

Template usage instructions
Starting with the AESLA 09 conference authors who use Microsoft Office must use the
template provided in the webpage in order to write their full texts.
The main reason for using this template is that all texts submitted to the conference
share the same style sheet. This will facilitate publication of the conference proceedings
in book format.
The screenshots of this document were taken from Microsoft Office 2003. If you have a
different version and have any difficulty using these guidelines, please contact

Styles
This template is based on the use of styles. Microsoft Word and other similar programs
(e.g. OpenOffice) allow defining styles and using them in an easy way. A style is a set
of rules like the following:
• the text is in italics
• the font size is 14
• the text alignment is justified
• …
If a document contains different texts, captions, figures, etc., which should be displayed
in a similar fashion, instead of changing their properties each time they appear, you
should choose the style options at the beginning and then apply them. Thus, if you want
to change some style for the whole document you only have to do it once.
The template provided by AESLA already has most of the style configurations needed
for the full text. These are the following:
•
•

AUTORES: Style configuration for author’s name on the first page of the
document.
BIBLIOGRAFÍA: Style configuration for bibliographical references.

only centers both of them.

(1.1, 2.1,3.4,…)

UNIVERSIDAD AUTORES: Style configuration for the university name that

should be applied to each part of the document. In the following image you can see an

How to copy and paste text from other documents?
In order to paste the source text on the template without losing the template style you
should do the following:
• Copy the text from the source document.
• Place the cursor where you want to paste the text and click on Edit -> Paste
Special. A window will appear with different options. You have to select “Text
without format”. You should take into account that these options will clear the
original text style (italics, bold, ... ) so you should modify it later if needed.
